When it comes to dating, women lie

When it comes to dating, 63 percent of women agree honesty isn’t always the best policy, according to an online survey by Toronto-based Harlequin Enterprises as part of its annual Romance Report. This tally of more than 2,000 respondents was released in the September issue of Women’s Health.

Here’s the scoop on the little white lies of some relationships.

Percentage of …

Women who have told a lie to get out of a bad first date: 54, men who have: 53

Women who have given out a fake phone number: 43, men who have: 32

Women who have sent a sexually explicit message to someone other than a current significant other: 35, men who have 42

Women who would confess this to their partner: 18, men who would: 16

Women who believe it’s OK to lie when your honey asks, “Do I look fat in this?”: 50, men who agree: 61

Women who say it’s OK to lie when a friend asks their opinion of a significant other: 45, men who agree: 46

Hell, even though I don’t lie about my age, everyone thinks I do anyway. I’m not ashamed to say I’m 30 years old, but since I am so tiny and I look young, I always get, “Are you even old enough to buy cigarettes?” C’mon…I don’t look that damn young! At least I don’t think so…

EMB: You’re right, and the title of the article should be “When it comes to dating, people lie.” But I think the point was that generally, men are percieved as the lying dogs, and women as the honest victims. The numbers show that both genders are equally culpable.

Payback for being dishonest to someone you took a vow to love, honor and RESPECT for the rest of your life is simply monetary? Sounds like a marriage that’s only based on status, bank accounts and Botox to begin with.

The person who wrote this should be FIRED! I mean, just like the other posts point out, the men are not THAT far off from the women. And you are just making women look worse. We have a hard enough time in life, and you just rub salt into the wound…

Shame on her, but she should be fired for writing something about lying when she deceived us too… (ironic, eh)
